The LEGO Store Calendar has been released for March and they will be giving away a free Martian Manhunter Minifigure with every order of $75 or more. The fine print says it will be from March 1st - March 31st or it could be until they run out. If they couple this with the Free Shipping promo that they have been running, count me in. It looks legit, Ill take 5 of 'em.

My favorite minifigure this week is the ultra-rare Iron Patriot. Iron Patriot was made famous in the latest Iron-Man movie, Iron-Man 3. Why LEGO decided to only have him available with a Pre-order from Walmart of the LEGO: Marvel Super Heroes Video Game, I will never know. If you want to get your hand on one, your best bet is eBay, they run around $30 - $40 USD. WARNING: Be aware, there are fake/counterfeits out there. Anyways, he's my jam.

If you like The Walking Dead inspired LEGO Minifigures you will love our Gov minifig. He is the first in our Zombie Hunter Collection which is now available for purchase here. He comes with an AUG Assault Rifle and a cool little Watch. He was painstakingly pad printed for the highest possible quality. Get one before they are gone for good.
